Our most recent US pharmacy data shows a low of roughly $6.84 for Lidocaine Hcl with a standard discount card. That figure moves with dosage and quantity — check the comparison table for the exact combination you need.

What do Canadian pharmacies charge for Lidocaine Hcl (Lidocaine)?
We found Canadian pricing for Lidocaine Hcl starting near $5.97 per tablet in USD terms. That's before any shipping charge, which the table above breaks out separately.
Why is Lidocaine Hcl (Lidocaine) priced differently in the US and Canada?
Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the US price is actually the lower of the two once a program like Cost Plus Drugs is factored in — the assumption that Canada is always cheaper doesn't hold for every drug.
What are the brand-name versions of generic Lidocaine HCl?
Lidocaine HCl is the generic name for the medication. Common brand-name versions include Xylocaine-MPF, Xylocaine HCl, and Lidoderm. It is manufactured by several companies, including Baxter International Inc., Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., and Pfizer Inc.
What is Lidocaine HCl and what is it used for?
Lidocaine HCl is a prescription local anesthetic. It is applied topically to relieve pain and itching from conditions like minor burns, insect bites, eczema, scrapes, and hemorrhoids. Certain formulations are also used to numb areas before medical procedures or exams. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals. Patients with specific heart conditions (like severe heart block, Stokes-Adams syndrome, or Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome) or allergies to corn products should consult their healthcare provider before using this drug. Inform your healthcare provider of any history of liver, kidney, or heart disease, circulation problems, or malignant hyperthermia.
What side effects are associated with Lidocaine HCl?
Common side effects of Lidocaine HCl can include drowsiness, dizziness, vomiting, sensations of feeling hot or cold, confusion, ringing in the ears, blurred or double vision, and unintended numbness where the medication is applied. This is not an exhaustive list. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for medical advice about potential side effects. Any adverse reactions can be reported to the FDA.
